Hey chefs!

Unfortunately Covid-19 has also slowed down development of Neon Noodles. It's hard to focus on programming with two little children being at home all the time due to closed schools. ^^ Here are some high-level improvements though you can expect in the next update that's currently in the works. All in all, there are about 40 small items we moved from our list to done already and next up we'll tackle some of the meatier stuff.

• tutorial improvements (stability/wording/sequencing)
• frame rate limiting/vsync
• bot area metric reporting fixes
• linking/loop start bugfix
• histogram no connection/stale data fix
• main menu visual improvements
• properly supporting cloud saves for overall game progress
• continue after completing level now starts from the next level
• added Workman layout
• proper display of keyboard shortcuts for all keyboard layouts
• fix savefile timestamp localization
• fixed version number display
• drone behavior fixes (out of bounds and incorrect collision reporting)
• empty saves now properly ignored
• general usability fixes:
  • clicking on timeline during playback
  • tooltips ordering/hiding
  • bot timeline ordering

Stay safe! - Patrick
